🔥 sanji. have fun, clown

Ithere's no real way to "fix" Sanji without acknowledging that misogyny is such a core aspect of him and that that is what needs to be worked on before anything else. No, seeing him as bisexual or gender troubled doesn't change the fact that he's shit to women. No, saying shit like he wants to get pegged or any other breaking masculinity thing doesn't change the fact that he's shit to women.

I'm saying this as someone who absolutely loves him: I don't want justifications or workarounds, I want him to be better, I want him to return to the way he used to be at the beginning. If Oda like genuinely tried to reign in the pervert gags I think I would be ok with his chivalry shtick and the "not hitting women" part of him, but as it stands I have spent half the timeskip as a Sanji fan wondering why the fuck his stupid gag aspect became so pervasive that unless a whole arc is focused on him, he doesn't even feel like a character anymore.

And I really, really hate 80% of the gender discussion surrounding him. "What if he was a girl" WELL FIRST OF ALL WE SHOULD ALL THINK REALLY HARD ABOUT WHAT IT WOULD MEAN IF ODA MADE THE #1 PERVERT GAG CHARACTER A TRANS WOMAN AND A GAY WOMAN NONETHELESS. ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE BACKGROUND ODA HAS AROUND WRITING GNC CHARACTERS. MAYBE WE SHOULD REFLECT ON THIS BEFORE EVERYTHING ELSE.
